Detailed Description

A KFileItem is a generic class to handle a file, local or remote.

In particular, it makes it easier to handle the result of KIO::listDir (UDSEntry isn't very friendly to use). It includes many file attributes such as mimetype, icon, text, mode, link...

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KFileItem::KFileItem const KIO::UDSEntry   _entry,
const KURL   _url,
bool    _determineMimeTypeOnDemand = false,
bool    _urlIsDirectory = false
 

Creates an item representing a file, from a UDSEntry.

This is the preferred constructor when using KIO::listDir().

Parameters:
_entry  the KIO entry used to get the file, contains info about it
_url  the file url
_determineMimeTypeOnDemand  specifies if the mimetype of the given URL should be determined immediately or on demand
_urlIsDirectory  specifies if the url is just the directory of the fileitem and the filename from the UDSEntry should be used.

Definition at line 53 of file kfileitem.cpp.

KFileItem::KFileItem mode_t    _mode,
mode_t    _permissions,
const KURL   _url,
bool    _determineMimeTypeOnDemand = false
 

Creates an item representing a file, from all the necessary info for it.

Parameters:
_mode  the file mode (according to stat() (e.g. S_IFDIR...) Set to KFileItem::Unknown if unknown. For local files, KFileItem will use stat().
_permissions  the access permissions If you set both the mode and the permissions, you save a stat() for local files. Set to KFileItem::Unknown if you don't know the mode or the permission.
_url  the file url
_determineMimeTypeOnDemand  specify if the mimetype of the given URL should be determined immediately or on demand

References KIO::decodeFileName(), and init().

KFileItem::KFileItem const KURL   url,
const QString   mimeType,
mode_t    mode
 

Creates an item representing a file, for which the mimetype is already known.

Parameters:
url  the file url
mimeType  the name of the file's mimetype
mode  the mode (S_IFDIR...)

void KFileItem::setExtraData const void *    key,
void *    value
[virtual]
 

This allows to associate some "extra" data to a KFileItem.

As one KFileItem can be used by several objects (often views) which all need to add some data, you have to use a key to reference your extra data within the KFileItem.

That way a KFileItem can hold and provide access to all those views separately.

I.e. a KFileIconView that associates a KFileIconViewItem (an item suitable for use with QIconView) does

 kfileItem->setExtraData( this, iconViewItem );

and can later access the iconViewItem by doing

 KFileIconViewItem *iconViewItem = static_cast<KFileIconViewItem*>( kfileItem->extraData( this ));

This is usually more efficient then having every view associate data to items by using a separate QDict or QMap.

Note: you have to remove and destroy the data you associated yourself when you don't need it anymore!

Parameters:
key  the key of the extra data
value  the value of the extra data

extraData , removeExtraData
